Stoked!!

Today was awesome. So I woke up ate my oatmeal, packed my crash pad and set out to the Happy boulders on a bike. Everything was awesome till I was out on Highway 6 where its open and flat and a nasty head wind started and dint stop for the whole rest of the ride.. it was brutal. The wind wiped the the crash pad that was on my back around and felt like it was going to blow me over. Basicly it felt like I could have walked faster..

But then something funny and awesome happened, like life always brings at odd times, I hiked up the hill to the Happy's and went straight to the problem I wanted to do. And sure enough!! there was Jessie and Jeneil for Alaska! So they dropped off my crash pad where im staying that way I dint have to ride back with it on. And it made all the difference, took only an hour to get back instead of and hour and a half.. hahaha

This is a fun little route call Cling and Smerk V2. Probably the hardest v2 I have ever done!

Toppin out.

There is Jeneil on a route called Not The Clapper v2. She was getting really close! Next time she gets on it im sure she will crush it.

There she is going big! And thats Jessie doing his awesome spotting job. Nice work guys.

Yeah!!! This a boulder problem called Round of Applause v7. Im super pumped on this route because it only took two days to finish and it has some really cool holds and moves. Great problem.

It starts on this big fat pinchy rail thing, then you cross right had to a small three finger crimp (above). Then you throw a heal hook and move your left hand to a small but good in-cut gastone.

Once you get the gastone, you move right hand up to the lip which is very slopey, match the sloper and do some funny foot trickery then pull of the crux move which is the move I am doing in the picture above. The crux is a big move to a small dishy crimp, then you move the feet up and grab the upper lip which is good.
